This is another example that two riters can blend their thoughts and imagination to create one literary work of art. It doesn't always come together so easy I assure you but Fran is a fabulous writer and sometimes when I read her work I think, or maybe it is I want to believe, we think alike. i love the voice of the female charcter in this. It begs of having something that was taken away, the warmth of her love. When I wrote the male voice for this piece I wanted to echo that sentiment but from the stand point that he can't make it back. That hes right there but at the same time a world away. He can hear her and sense her touch but can't see her, talk or move to her. The male voice in this is in a coma desperately trying to find away back to his love.
I don't know if everyone can pick that out of the words but there it is.
I loved doing this piece. Fran is a truely wonderful talent.
I think this was a very well done collaboration. I don't even see the need to divide the stanzas by male and female. I think they flowed quite well together simply as one lover to another. Very well done.
What a cool concept, and so well executed! I wonder if, perhaps, there is a way to structure/present this poem so the reader more easily grasps that this is, in fact, an exchange between two lovers, stanza respoding to stanza?
